The procedure described there is quite tricky for a GUI client. You need
to specify 3 URLs (tag1, tag2, trunk), so it would need a new dialog to
enter those.

It could _possibly_ be done in repo-browser by selecting the 2 tags
alone, but would require a bit of guessing. User selects 2 tags and
picks 'Show log between tags'. TSVN internally gets stop-on-copy logs
for the 2 tags, checks that they are copied from the same URL, then does
a show-log on the common URL between the 2 copy revisions.

There's plenty that can go wrong. We can't distinguish tags from any
other branch, nor can we tell if tags are related, so that context menu
entry would appear even when it is not appropriate. And it is probably
not appropriate most of the time for most users.

This sort of feature may be more appropriate in the revision graph.

BTW did you know that in TSVN 1.2 you can select 2 tags in the revision
graph and diff them to get a list of changed files? This feature will
also be added to the rebo-browser, but it is still on the ToDO list.
That's not exactly what you are asking for, but it may help.
